    New Dungeong Siege Trailer - Now With WordArt (February 19, 2007)

    Because Uwe Boll is propably the worst director in the history of movie making !! I can't understand why he gets this 30-40 Million budgets again and again. Don't get me wrong: the stories he wants to take to the movies mostly have real potential, but Boll is just the wrong guy to make a...

    this game, WC Saga, and the truth

    I think this thread is one of the strangest I ever read on the internet. It goes around in circles, people attack each other on a personal level and sometimes it's just getting pure non-sense (like the wikipedia discussion), but nevertheless it seems to have had the right effect: The...

    this game, WC Saga, and the truth

    Uuuuuuh, what? I have nothing to do with Saga or whatsoever. I visit this website for years but I registered for the forum just months ago, sorry. If you take a look in the fan directory you can find me under Bier, Johannes "Raider", and you may notice, that this entry was made years...

    ...soon: english version of Privateer - the Awakening

    Hey Deacan, something off-privateer-topic: Did you print this books by some sort of book-on-demand service? If so, how are your experiences with it?

    this game, WC Saga, and the truth

    I followed this discussion for a while and now this goes in a totally wrong direction. I'm with turbotim, LOAF, you are reading something between the lines, that just isn't there. What shpynx meant was that, in a face to face discussion, we would realize that he is honest. And in general...

    Breaking Point

    To be honest, I don't like your style of writing. It reminds me more of "describing a movie scene" than of "real" writing. The storytelling works differently in books and movies and for me, you are way to far on the movie side. I think you should focus more on the emotions and less on...

    Why Computer games don't make good movies

    It's not just "fast calculating" as you described it. The pilgim heritage brings religious and supernatural aspects to wing commander that never were mentioned in the past of the games. You're interpretation of blair as a very talented young guy goes false. You're consideration of blair been...

    Why Computer games don't make good movies

    But the difference between your WWI analogy and the pilgrim plot is blair's supernatural capability of navigating through jump-points. That's poor storytelling and has nothing to do neither with wwI nor with the original wing commander concept.

    Why Computer games don't make good movies

    Well, there would have been other ways to make all people hate Maverick, that don't include this pilgim crap. Just an example: Blairs Dad was officer in the navy, rival to tolwyn, ungilty punished as traitor or coward -> they hate his son, and history seems to repeat itself.

    Why Computer games don't make good movies

    Jepp, and that was a very big mistake.

    Why Computer games don't make good movies

    In my opinion wc movie is way off the original idea of wing commander as some sort of "world war 2 in space" story. why was there any need for this poor and childish pilgrim plot? i really can't see the need for it. if they wanted to make 1 good movie then it should have looked like this...
